Volunteer at Dia de los Muertos
Civic Center Conservancy is currently recruiting volunteers to help with the upcoming Dia de los Muertos at Civic Center, taking place on Saturday, October 24, 12-7pm, 2026 at Civic Center Park. Â
In partnership with Manos Sagrados, this free and public event will bring the Denver community together as a collective to honor the presence of our ancestors and loved ones who have passed. We will have a full program of live music and dance, artisan market, art installations, family-friendly activities, food vendors, community altars, and a procession.
Volunteer opportunities are diverse in nature, scope, and timing, including supporting vendor load-in and event setup, helping with guest wayfinding, and supporting load-out after the event.
We especially encourage Spanish/English bilingual individuals to sign up!
